Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao, the villain from a parallel world

"I'll be going to Xingluo City to participate in the competition in about half a month," Huo Yuhao said.

"After I leave, try not to leave the academy and just stay by your master's side to learn."

Ye Guyi has been staying in the academy during this time, and because her martial soul information was concealed, she has not been affected in any way.

But Huo Yuhao knew in his heart that the storm outside had not yet subsided.

He had secretly gone out a few times before, knowing that the Holy Spirit Cult was still searching the whole city for Ye Guyi.

Although those people dared not enter the academy, the area around it was filled with their spies.

If Ye Guyi were to reveal her divine attributes, the Holy Spirit Cult would definitely notice her immediately.

"Okay, I won't go out without your permission." Ye Guyi nodded obediently.

Having spent so much time with Huo Yuhao, Ye Guyi had long since become completely obedient to him.

She herself couldn't pinpoint when the change occurred, from being forced to obey at the beginning to now being willing to do so.

However, she didn't feel that this situation was bad; on the contrary, she felt very at ease.

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, and Ji Ze suddenly said, "Extend your hand."

Ye Guyi was stunned for a moment, not expecting Huo Yuhao to suddenly make such a request.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she still obediently reached out her hand. Her hand was long and fair, and her fingers trembled slightly.

Without saying a word, Huo Yuhao raised his right hand and grasped her hand.

Chapter 122 Departure from Xingluo

Grasping Ye Guyi's hand, Huo Yuhao's eyes were clear; he hadn't made this request to take advantage of her.

He will be leaving in another two weeks, and that departure will last at least one or two months.

Although Ye Guyi was alone in the academy and had Kong Deming protecting her, Kong Deming would definitely have no time to take care of her once she left Mingde Hall or even the academy's territory.

If anything unexpected happens, given Ye Guyi's current strength, she'll only be waiting to die.

Since she was his servant, Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't watch her die, so he planned to give her some means to save her life.

A wisp of condensed chaotic power emerged from his palm, and along the point where their hands touched, it directly entered Ye Guyi's body.

Ye Guyi felt a cool sensation in her palm, which came and went quickly. Before she could react, it had vanished without a trace.

Before she could even react, Huo Yuhao had already let go of her hand.

"Are you done?" Ye Guyi asked, looking at her empty palms with a somewhat bewildered expression.

The whole process was so fast; she had thought there would be more complicated steps.

"It's all better now. This wisp of power can save your life in a critical moment." Huo Yuhao stood up, picked up his plate, and said, "I'm full. You should go back now."

Huo Yuhao turned and left without any hesitation. Ye Guyi watched his retreating figure, her eyes looking somewhat moist.

Although Huo Yuhao always appeared cold and emotionless, the things he did deeply moved Ye Guyi.

At the same time, she also realized that her strength was too weak, and Huo Yuhao had to make sure she had a way out when he went to participate in the competition.

"I will work hard to cultivate my skills and try to help him as soon as possible!"

Ye Guyi's eyes were full of determination. After quickly finishing her lunch, she left the cafeteria and returned to her dormitory to cultivate.

Half a month later, in the afternoon, Huo Yuhao arrived at the main gate of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"Senior brother!" Meng Hongchen ran to his side with joy, her face full of excitement.

It's no wonder she was so excited; she had already planned out what would happen before she even went to the competition.

Starting today, they will travel to Xingluo City together, and they will be able to stay together along the way.

After arriving in Xingluo City, they would have to stay in the same hotel.

Before going to the competition, Meng Hongchen had already asked the senior students before her. The team members would stay on the same floor, but in different rooms.

Meng Hongchen plans to choose a room that is close to Huo Yuhao's when the time comes.

Then, spending every day with Huo Yuhao, their feelings for each other will quickly grow, and they will definitely become a real couple before long.

"At that time, neither Ye Guyi nor Nana will be a match for me."

Thinking of this, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What are you thinking about?" Huo Yuhao asked, looking at Meng Hongchen who was chuckling foolishly.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Immersed in his fantasy, Meng Hongchen was startled and quickly waved his hand.

Seeing this, Xiao Hongchen, who had been standing nearby, couldn't help but facepalm, completely exasperated by her sister's obsession with good looks.

When I meet someone good-looking, it's like I lose my mind.

Huo Yuhao followed Meng Hongchen into the group and looked around to find that everyone in the reserve team had arrived.

Chen Fei and Mika from the main team have arrived, but the whereabouts of the others are still completely unknown.

It will probably be a while before they arrive.

Seeing that no one was coming over, Huo Yuhao was about to close his eyes and start cultivating.

Unexpectedly, before the event even started, Master Ma arrived from a distance with several other students.

Besides them, there was another person with them, which surprised Huo Yuhao.

Because the person following Master Ma was none other than Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, whom he had met once before.

Jing Hongchen was dressed in a black robe today, with a smile on her face, as if she had something to be happy about.

"I didn't expect him to come, and he's in such high spirits. Could it be that they've made progress on the energy-conducting hybrid device research?"

Huo Yuhao could keenly sense that Jing Hongchen's smile was not just polite; he was genuinely happy.

He had casually mentioned Jing Hongchen when he was chatting with Meng Hongchen.

It is also known that after obtaining the charging soul tool, Jing Hongchen gathered a group of people and has been in seclusion to study it.

The level of dedication they put into the research can only be described as working day and night.

After he entered the laboratory, he didn't leave for a full five months. Even when he did leave later, it was only occasionally for meals or something similar.

Huo Yuhao acknowledged Jing Hongchen's skill in crafting soul tools, and with the other level-eight soul masters working together for over a year, it was quite normal for them to have made some progress.

At this moment, the others also saw Jing Hongchen's arrival.

They also hurriedly bowed to the distinguished Master Mingde.

"Grandpa, what brings you here?" Meng Hongchen exclaimed in surprise.

"Hahaha, you're going to the Star Luo Empire to compete and win honor for the academy, how could I not come to see you off?" Jing Hongchen laughed.

Then Jing Hongchen addressed the other students, saying, "Today you are heading to the Star Luo Empire to participate in the competition. As the head of Mingde Hall and the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, I have come here to see you off."

"Ma Zhan should have already told you before that winning the championship of this competition is your only goal."

"Of course, even if you don't win the championship, there's no need to worry. Just make sure you're safe."

Upon hearing this, both the reserve team members and the regular team members were extremely surprised, as was Old Ma, who had come with Jing Hongchen.

Unexpectedly, Jing Hongchen would say such a thing. After all, their goal in every competition is to win the championship. Why would he say such a thing now?

Looking at Jing Hongchen's smiling face, Huo Yuhao felt even more certain that his previous guess was correct.

Ji Juechen and others must have already achieved remarkable results in the research of the Energy-Charging Soul Guidance System.

At the very least, the charging array inside could be applied to an offensive or defensive soul tool.

Only in this way could Jing Hongchen and his group have enough confidence to think that even if they couldn't defeat Shrek Academy in the competition, they could still defeat them from other places.

Seeing their surprised expressions, Jing Hongchen didn't offer any explanation, as the charging soul tool was still considered confidential information.

Then Jing Hongchen turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao.

Chapter 123 Triggering the Defensive Soul Tool

This confidence is entirely due to the energy-charging soul tool that Huo Yuhao developed.

Therefore, Jing Hongchen also began to attach great importance to Huo Yuhao, this genius.

Of course, this is also partly due to Meng Hongchen's great fondness for Huo Yuhao.

In his view, Huo Yuhao is very likely to become his grandson-in-law, and then they will be family.

Huo Yuhao is now going to Xingluo City to participate in the competition, and he will almost certainly face off against the Shrek Academy.

Fighting against those obsessed with glory is very risky, so Jing Hongchen naturally couldn't just let Huo Yuhao participate in the competition.

"Yuhao, come here, I have something to tell you." Jing Hongchen waved to Huo Yuhao affectionately.

The sudden remark drew everyone's attention to Huo Yuhao, with Xiao Hongchen's eyes widening in surprise.

"No, my grandfather came here, why would he come looking for me instead of me?"

Looking at his smiling grandfather, Xiao Hongchen felt betrayed.

Jing Hongchen didn't even look at him. After Huo Yuhao came in front of him, she pulled him aside.

"Master, is there anything I can help you with?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously.

Jing Hongchen patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Ma Zhan has already told me about your strength. I didn't expect that in addition to your outstanding talent in soul tools, you also have such talent in cultivation and combat."

"You flatter me, Master," Huo Yuhao said modestly.

“However, even though you are very strong, you can’t go into the competition unprepared,” Jing Hongchen said, changing the subject.

Whether it's Laughing at the Mortal World or Dreaming of the Mortal World, Jing Hongchen has prepared defensive soul tools for them. Since he considers Huo Yuhao as one of his own, he naturally won't forget Huo Yuhao.

Then, a flash of light appeared in Jing Hongchen's hand as he took something out of his storage soul tool.

Huo Yuhao looked closely and saw that what he was holding was a necklace. The necklace was light gold in color and had intricate array patterns engraved on it.

The necklace sparkled in the sunlight, exuding an air of elegance.

"This is..." Huo Yuhao asked curiously, looking at the necklace.
